Re: MORE G-J TUBE PROBLEMS - pat

[Guest guest]

Hey Chrissy,

A proton pump inhibitor stops the production of acid in the stomach by

disabling the the proton pumps. As I understand it, this med causes the

stomach to shed the tubes that produce the acid, so that no acid can enter

the stomach. It has REALLY helped with 's gagging/vomiting episodes.

Bad days have become a rarity! YEAH!!

There are several different meds Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix, Nexium,

etc... I don't know which ones are best for babies, but I have only heard of

Prevacid and Prilosec being used in the very young ones like Madison and

.

Hope this helps!
